Continuing on from my posting this morning. I can now only receive Ch59 on my living room TV by having the TV on at the same time in the bedroom. Turn off and I lose the signal to the living room tv or the picture starts to pixelate then breaks up. The other channels are fine even with the bedroom TV turned off.
Any ideas what might be happening?
Thanks.

Hi Chris: No problem about delay in coming back I do realize and understand you have other things to do..albeit up a ladder painting ;-)
Since I asked'post the question Friday night about the not receiving Ch59 unless the bedroom TV was on, it's been resolved! I think it must have been down to the weather on Friday evening, as I've had no problems whatsoever since then, even with with the TV in the bedroom switched off. In fact good pictures for all channels ( including Ch59) So I think until the commercial multiplexes signal are up to full strength in April 2012 there may be some intermittent problems IF the weather is bad. Where I live it is not built up being in a rural location so wind can really get some speed up around the houses, but less so if in a town I suspect, or wouldn't be noticed quite as much. May be just my " female, girly take on things" but that's how I explain away the problems for Friday night.
Thanks for coming back to me Chris..and hope you manage to get all your painting done.

Simon: I hope you manage to update your Sharp box and this fixes the problem, but at least you know that it's not the signal as your next door neighbour has Ch59. It's just a process of elimination sadly, as it was for me too. All so time consuming and frustrating to say the least, but sounds as though you may be getting nearer to solving the problem.
As for pigeons sitting on your aerial affecting the picture quality, from my own experience, regardless of whether a pigeon, sparrow, wind, rain, sleet, snow, sunshine, hailstones, aircraft flying over, everything affects "digital pictures" especially where Ch59 is concerned ;-) Windy where I am today, and even BBC1 is pixelating so I won't even look at Ch59 it will be far too stressful.
Good luck with your Sharp box!

Hello,
It's Suzanne again! Since last night I've lost Dave, Challenge, Really on Ch59, all other channels are fine. Although I did note Saturday even BBC1 and BBC2 were pixelating, but cleared up after a hour. I have not changed any connections,cables,moved the TV or connected anything new to the TV. It was fine until 10.00PM last night, and nothing today. Is there any work going on or anything I need to know about as to why all of a sudden after three weeks of being perfect, should all of a sudden vanish again??
Thank you..and help or advice welcome.

I have lost channel 59 completely, nothing has changed with my tv, I've not added any new equipment, not altered where the tv is positioned, the aerial, or anything else that should have caused the channels to have vanished over seven days. At first I thought it was down to the weather, as lets face it, digital tv ( signals) can get affected by almost anything. So I ignored the fact I couldn't get, yesterday, pick, really, challenge, Dave and food network. But now seven days later, I still can't pick these channles up and yes, I've tried a re-tune, and tried factory default, and nothing!
Has there been any changes over the last week or is the work going on somewhere that could affect the signals which were perfect until last week. I had all channels and even some new ones were showing up. Any advice would really be appreciated. Thank you.
